"The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale."

Well there goes a problem right there for a company trying to make money on license fees.

I won't go into the discussion about libre vs. closed software, but only say more options is better.

About Unity3D supporting Linux, didn't this happen reluctantly because of all the Kickstarter Unity3D game projects promising Linux clients? I remember something about the Unity3D devs not wanting to touch Linux, and the support for the platform was done by either the Wasteland2 or Shadowrun2 devs? Might be wrong...

Not true at all. Linux support has been half done in Unity for a while. They just never allocated the time and resources to finish it because no significant portion of their paying customers gave a crap about Linux. Now a number of customers do care and are listing it as a requirement when engine shopping, hence it has become economically advantageous to finish that support. So it shall be done.
